Five hours of spinning and knitting bliss. Okay, maybe not bliss to all, but for me it was. I have seen it compared to watching paint dry. I guess, but I tend to feel the same way when watching fishing or golf on t.v. :)

Met up with a new knitting friend for dinner at one of my favorite local restaurants. Can you believe I didn't bring my knitting? Mary did, and here is the progress of her Featherweight cardigan knit up in Malabrigo laceweight.

In one of my previous posts I mentioned my love affair with the book, The Little Prince. A lovely reader of the blog surprised me with the most wonderful gift.

I feel it was destiny that I would someday own this yarn. Now if only I could bring myself to knit with it.

Thankfully it is early Sunday, which means there are many more hours to my weekend. I am sure more knitting will happen, possible cleaning, and maybe some cooking.

The texture of those docks are amazing. They will be so cute in pink. The new project bag is definitely a representation of fall. I love those little yarn ball stitch markers. Thank you for the soup recommendations.

Oh, it's true, it's so lovely to be in the season for knitting! I am enjoying knitting a couple of other people's designs just now (Kate Davies' Deco and Woolly Wormhead's Mystery Hat KAL)- both in lovely shades of deep blue. Selfishly, they are both for me as I might love this season, but I need insulating against it!

Oh yes, autumn makes me want to cast on way more than I can actually knit at the time... And of course it getting colder is a legal excuse to get me a sweater's worth of yarn :)
I love autumn, also for it's colours and odours
Your socks look lovely !

I love the Opal wool - I've knitted several pairs of socks with their self-patterning yarn and they seem to be completely indestructible. Have just had a small accident online and ordered three balls in different Little Prince colours - blaming you entirely! (not really, your blog is great). Ruth x

is it wrong that i am a little envious of mary? :)
LOVE your bethany sock, katies treasures, norway's knitting and le petit prince (so much, one quote is handpainted in one of our rooms and one of my girls has a tattoo). happy sunday evening rose. :)

I love the color you chose for the woodpile socks! I've been thinking of casting on but somehow right now I can't seem to find the time! its a great pattern. I have always love the little prince book, the yarn looks so pretty!

Thanks for the Norwegian link. I had been hearing about the event for a little while but couldn't find a direct link. It was strangely compelling tv. Did you keep looking out for the host's sweater changes? I loved all the traditionally inspired sweater motifs. If it was in English I would have stayed up all night.

It's been such a long time I last came here. I'm so sorry Andi. I missed your blog!
These pink socks are lovely. I think I need to cast on immediately. Oh, and I'm totally in love with the project bag. It's so cute!

We have a love affair with The Little Prince over here too. I have three kids who each have their own copy (the youngest can't even read but it's there for him when he can). It's hard to find a book the intrigues adults and children alike. I think I need to get some of that yarn!
